No TGIS service today but we had TGIS bus tour!!! After the tour, we joined the Jesus March!!!!

Bus Tour (supposed to be train tour)
We gathered at JR Shinjuku station's at 10am. This bus tour was planned by Pastor Elmer for those who came to join the Tokyo 2010 Conference! The Brothers and Sisters who joined us are from all around the world... India, Peru, Congo, Nigeria, America, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea and more I believe.

Our first sight is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (also known as Tocho Tower) in Shinjuku. We then moved to the Sumitomo Fudosan Mita Twin Building West where Pastor Elmer Inafuku showed us a small monument that recognizes the Christians that were martyred several hundred years ago in Japanese history throughout the country.

And here is the TGIS crew.

Jesus March
After we visited the martyr site at around 2pm, the bus took us to Shiba Park to join the Jesus March. Around 300~400 people gathered and there was a concert going on. We started marching at 3pm toward Hibiya Park for one hour. It was an amazing experience. The Japanese police kindly guided and protected our march. Thank God for current Japan's freedom of demonstration.
